Here’s what I like about Trump.

1. Business people I deal with are happier than they were three years ago. Their stores are full of people, there’s very few places to park in their parking lot, and they’re making regular deposits to their banks, and hiring more people to pay. That is the result of Trump’s actions, mostly the corporate tax rate cuts to bring our business tax schedules into a more advantageous position. But also because he has, by executive action mostly, begun lessening regulations. It has caused a boon to business and has caused more people to be hired. I don’t really talk politics when I’m doing business, but I hear business people who, like me, are praising the new America, greater or not as it may be.
2. He has attempted to alter America’s course in International politics to lessen our country’s burdens dealing with the rest of the world. We still pay for most of all the bullshit that comes from The United Nations, NATO, and all the other alliances and trade deals, and garbage bullshit scams that are “International Feel-good crap” but we have put on notice that more nations need to pick up their end of the damned blanket.
3. He has systematically allowed the Federal Government to back away from States issues, like parks and schools. While the nation needs those items, I see no good reason to have a national park that, while it may benefit anyone from anywhere to go to the park, it only benefits economically the state and community where it is located. Let that state or community fund it and run it. If it fails they lose the income, bet it won’t fail. Schools, same thing. So far I’ve seen, the Fed has encompassed a whole country with an arbitrary benchmark system for school success. But those benchmarks are wrong for a good portion of the country. Some benchmarks should be considerably higher, and the states and communities who care to increase their own worth should control their schools if schools are even mandated and regulated.
4. I like that he shit-canned the tax on health insurance, you know, the one that says you have to pay a tax if you elect to not have coverage. The fine was never enough to dissuade me, just a stupid fucking annoyance I had to deal with at tax time. That was the most petty and slimiest rip off in the history of the US, in my opinion, and the second most heinous act Obama perpetrated.
5. He has recognized and is attempting to square our standing in the International trade sector. It hasn’t resulted in much yet, but he is working to fix that crap that we have subject ourselves to for the last 70 years. And it has been a boon to some industries located here in the states and may eventually bring the “labor” countries overseas into line with paying their damned people more money. That remains to be seen how that will work but is exactly how I would do it. I like America being involved in the world, even be a leader in the world, but I want all the nations to do their part. They don’t all, they need to, and as long as we fund most of everything, countries will not participate as needed; like Sudan and Pakistan and Afghanistan and…for fuck’s sake this could go on all day and I don’t have enough ink bytes.
6. He has shaken up the status quo in D.C. He is hiring and firing, trying this and trying that. I like that there is action. He’s made some dumb moves and he has made some great moves, but he is moving. The previous fucks didn’t care even a whit about fixing anything, they just took their money and ran, except for Obamahammamamma. That fucker is still talking I hear. Bet he starts off with that famous phrase of his, “That’s not who we are.” You Dumbass, yes it is.

Here’s what I don’t like about Trump:

1. He hasn’t fixed the health care crap, it’s not such a worry for me, I’m old enough to be a dyed in the wool socialist now with my own little ID card and new restrictions on what I can get fixed in my body and where I can get it done using my medi-care. He hasn’t got rid of the most heinous thing any president in my life has done, (Obama Care), besides those assholes who drafted little boys to go fight those other little boys with their automatic weapons and knives back in the 1940s until 1973.
2. He hasn’t fixed immigration. He really hasn’t even attempted to fix it, most of his efforts have been to wail about a stupid ass wall, that will never happen. Why not make the Congress get off their good-for-nothing asses and fix it? He hasn’t mustered the balls to do that.
3. He has not cut the taxes as much as he said he would, the middle class has seen a so-so gain, according to national figures that say 60 percent of the middle class did see some new tax relief, but not enough.
4. He has run the deficit even higher, at a faster pace because he hasn’t even attempted to get rid of much of the fluff in the Federal government. We still have agencies that are useless, do nothing of value, and dot the D.C. area with ugly buildings and hordes of paper pushers making good salaries with outrageously high retirement benefits and are beholden to one of the most crooked institutions in history, that of the public workers’ unions.
5. He hasn’t stopped participating in the world-wide skirmishes, wars, and whining-ass bullshit. Trump get off the stick and fix it or don’t tell me you will.

All that said, I think Trump is the change. We were promised change before many times but there has never been any change in the least. He has fundamentally changed Washington and the US, Some of it’s good, much of it’s bad, but at last, it has changed and that makes me a bit happier than I was, and I think the same goes for quite a few people.

I will not vote for a democrat and since my vote in California will be ignored when the electors look at it, I will probably vote for whoever the Libertarian guy or gal is. So, I’m irrelevant. My thoughts here are irrelevant. My writing, though, is neat and concise. Put that in yer pipe and smoke it.
